Is there a way to get to an editor while running "inews" with standard
(terminal) input? Every now and then, instead of preparing a file
beforehand and feeding it to inews, or using postnews (which puts you
into an editor automatically), I want to post a short item and just
run "inews" with direct terminal input. Then I notice a typo before
sending, but several lines back in the text. I know of no way to
correct such mistakes. Is there some control character or other
method to get to an editor at this time, or just abort the posting
while saving the text in a file you can get to and then edit and
feed to inews again?
